To Paleo Or Not to Paleo? That is the question.

Have you ever felt like this kid?  I find my self in almost a constant dialogue.  Every time I hit the fridge, go to a restaurant or just think about food.   It's almost like I have a little Paleo Devil and a Paeleo Angel on each shoulder.  Back and forth they argue. All day long.  I'd say each wins about 50% of the time.


So here's the dialogue goes in my head:

• Paleo Angel:  Do you know many burpees you're going to have to do to work that off?
• Paelo Devil:  Dude, you've been eating this way for 40+ years. What's another?  It's only one.
• Paleo Angel:  But earlier today you said that would be the last one? Remember, you're Paleo now
• Paleo Devil:  Don't listen to her.  This Paleo thing is a fad.  You earned it...go ahead.  Indulge.
• Paleo Angel:  Don't listen to him.  You worked so hard to get here. Don't let it go.
• And so on...

Does this ever happened to you?  Or is it just me?  Let me know.
